TESTIMONIALS
Don’t just take it from us.
I’ve been following The Pocket OT for a while now and wanted to let you know how helpful the website has been. It’s empowered me because I am in a rural area and need fun treatment ideas for our small team.
Jennifer, COTA
I felt burned out and wondered why I became an OT. After taking Cara’s course and mentoring program, I found my WHY again!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

5/5 stars!
The Trauma-Informed Care course was absolutely amazing. I learned so much and can’t wait to use it.
Rebekah Schachner, OTD Student
I wanted to let you know I have attended some other Trauma related courses in the past, however, I think since yours is from the OT perspective, I found it to be much more informative and useful to implement in to future treatments. Thank you so much!
I thought I knew what executive function was but after the master course, I am completely looking at the students on my caseload in a new way. It’s amazing how behavior and EF are related.
